    Where's Clay?

    They run Bulls and Sheep in Spain? /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  2. I like 1. Something to do w/ the checkerboard look. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  3. The brits seem to do well in the shotgun games. (skeet/trap/sproting clays) /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  4. I'd support MainActor from MainConcepts. http://www.mainconcept.com/mainactor_v5.shtml It a great prog that works under both Windows and Linux. It's cheaper compared top others, but I believe it's easier to use compared to the others when you considerthe time constraint you're under to get the videos out. If you're linux only (I doubt it), check out cinelerra. many more features, but not as easy to use. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  5. images.google.com may be a help. http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=sunset+%7Eskydive&btnG=Search /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  6. >>Will the people that really need to read this section even look at the new SIM? Those who want to absorb as much info as possible will. >>Maybe the USPA should require that all AFF students purchase a copy of the SIM. Dropzones could include the price of it in the first jump. It's only $25. >>I know the SIM can be downloaded, but having a book in your hand is very different than being able to find the information online. People may see it laying around the house and think about the fun they had. I'd prefer the option to download and print it out. My instructors at Crosskeys told me I could pick one up at the shop or DL it. I liked having that option w/o having to spend the extra cash. Mike Coles 'bluelip'
  7. Nothin' special, just some ear rings I picked up at a club that wanted to see how a digital camera worked. Gott'a love the technologically challenged. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  8. Anyone try making their own? A wine / home brew shop I used to frequent had a selection of odd herbs/spices. Wormwood was one of the substances available. The Garcia-look-alike owner of the place convinced me to try it out. I took a bottle of EverClear (near ure grain alcohol) and made room for the wormwood. It turned green after a few days. After 10, I removed the strained the liquid. After that it sat in my cupboard for months because I lacked the intesinal fortitude to try it. When the time actually came, I tried a drop on my tongue. Ultra-bitter. I tried cutting half a shot of the substance w/ 6 packets of sugar and then mixing it into a cola. Nothing could kill the bitterness and taste. Is it supposed to be that harsh? Should I be expecting some boys in blue at my door in the morning for making this stuff? I have a near full bottle of the liquid left if anyone is in the South Jersey area and wants to try some. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */

    find your dz

    You can barely read "Cross Keys" in this photo from March, 1995. http://terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?t=1&s=10&x=2486&y=21975&z=18&w=2 /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  10. I think it only means they were looking for someone who would provide positive remarks about Coors Light or Rolling Rock's new ultra light beer. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  11. Probably because of Webster's 3rd definition: Incident \In"ci*dent\, a. [L. incidens, -entis, p. pr. & of incidere to fall into or upon; pref. in- in, on + cadere to fall: cf. F. incident. See {Cadence}.] 3. Liable to happen; apt to occur; befalling; hence, naturally happening or appertaining. All chances incident to man's frail life. --Milton. The studies incident to his profession. --Milward. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  12. On my first jump, the tandem masters were trying to bust my chops. The normal type of stuff. For the most part, my tm was keeping quite. The other tm's then began to ask my to inquire about about what my tm did before he started jumping. The story was that he was a gay porn star. I just blew it off. They continued on the topic. Then they said "He's even got his willy pierced.". I came back w/ "You too?". They quieted up quickly. I do thank them for keeping me from getting overly nervous. The chit-chat worked well. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  13. The ratings are a nice feature, but I miss the wget-ability of the old site. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  14. Oh man.... Time for bowling.... I have been in 2 accidents within the last 6 months.... Glad these are only stats. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  15. >>Post: >>A good soldier - one who only obeys orders, without second thoughts, without question, do or die. Sounds like another I've heard "Mine is not to question why. Mine is to do or die" /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  16. >>Actually the "shoes" part of shagg refers to making sure the shoes are tied tightly and have no speed laces. So if you're barefoot, i guess you don't have to worry about shoelaces. What's the problem w/ speed laces? (newbie asking) /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  17. Whocares, The tatts.jpg image isn't showing up well on my monitor.... Are those the pj feet? /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  18. Still a student... have only jumped at one spot. 15 driving miles away. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  19. If you can get small stitching c: Game Over r: Reset /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  20. Was George Bush exiting a skyvan when he cracked his noggin? Good example of why to wear a helmet. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  21. Casch, Please save some of those kittens you are helping to get rid of. They are how I learned the words to the "Immigrant Song". Thank you Viking Kittens. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  22. Hehehe, some do. __________________________________________________ DILLIGAF I had that exact thought. /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  23. Anything cross-over between the two disciplines? Before I jumped, I was a brute. All American Redneck!!! Budweiser all the way.... Bale stackinjg, wrench turning, catle feeding/herding, jeep driving...... the finesse takes some getting used to /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  24. I've seen several other threads discussing what sports you enjoy. Haven't seen many polls though. What else do you do on your down time? We've all seen the hacky scak/frisbee/catch at the dz.... Anyone else spend serious time w/ a sport outside of flying? Mike Coles 'bluelip' /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
  25. Are you talking about the time it takes you to execute a specific maneuver? /* Mike Coles 'bluelip' */
